There is a pretty wide variety of artistry on sale. One of the things I like about this Festival is that you will not find 100 jewelers, 200 potters and dozens of other artists selling the same goods. Yeah sure there are a few of each but let's admit it, it does get tiring looking at the same types of goods over and over again. I say this is a got to event in my book.

Really nothing innovative remains. Framed pictures of the last Game at tigers stadium are nice & have their place but if this is the offering of a fine Arts festival then you have lost your way.

We won't bother next year with Birmingham

Throughout the year, the Plymouth Historical Museum puts on some amazing events. My kids' favorites…read moreare their Christmas events. All the volunteers are so invested in their characters! The museum itself is quaint but we'll thought out. They have a large exhibit and information on Abraham Lincoln as well as the Daisy Air Rifle Factor. When we visited during the holidays, the exhibit was all about old toys. The staff is friendly and kind. They also have an archive section that you're able to set up a time to peruse. We live in an older home in the area and I'll be back one of these days to set up a time to look into my house and it's former inhabitants. Additionally, there is a strain caboose in the back the museum purchased not long ago. You can explore it with museum admission and during the holidays, Santa takes visitors there. It's a wonderful place to support and learn about Plymouth's history.

Was very delightful to see a good collection of prototype, one off and "what if" vehicles on display, like the big block Pontiac Grand Am... Station Wagon! Vehicles are mix of original condition, owner restored and professionally redone vehicles and have many with unique engine and trim options. Staff is exceptional part of the entire experience, hugely knowledgeable and accommodating. Would plan 2-3 hours to take everything in. Nice introduction to museum in 15 minute presentation, which is extremely informative and worthwhile.

If you grew up in Farmington or Farmington Hills, then you've probably passed by this gorgeous…read moredowntown mansion a hundred times or maybe even taken a picture in front for prom or graduation. But what's the story behind this iconic small town landmark? Was Governor Warner a cool guy to know? What was Farmington like back in the day? These questions (and more) are no match for Sharon, who gave us an interesting and informative tour. For starters, the inside of the Warner Mansion have been preserved very well. It was built by PD Warner (who was the father of the governor) in a Victorian Italiante structure in 1867. The interior still holds the original late Victorian style and there is beautiful hand carved furniture throughout, original wall paper, a one-of-a-kind antique piano, ornate furnaces and an original Edison record player! PD Warner's photo is displayed a number of times throughout the tour but it's the same picture. From the photo, one might characterize him as congenial based on his smirk. His son, the governor, was presented as a well-liked man and 'everyone's friend'. The last inhabitant of the mansion was Edessa Warner Slocum, the daughter of Governor Warner. There is one picture of her on the refrigerator holding her grand child but not much was said about her current whereabouts. The mansion has an extensive garden and is a participant in many of Farmington's downtown parades and events. There is even a group of representatives called The Warnerettes. I enjoyed this tour very much and hope others get a chance to check it out. There is a donation box and it is asked that you give a $3 donation per adult and $1 per child. Anything extra goes to preserving the mansion and the upkeep which is very expensive. Sharon is a volunteer and so are the others who help to tend the garden and premise. It is thanks to them that these tours are possible.

There is a large jail, police stations, court, and a beautiful large library. If you pop in downtown, it reminds me of royal oak. There's sidewalk and cute small shops to stop in. I haven't had the chance to visit many of the shops, but I look forward to. They do have some construction going on towards that area, depending on where you are coming from. I might stop by near the spring, when it isn't so cold. My favorite thing about Mt Clemens is driving through some of the streets near the center. There are gorgeous homes that are absolutely stunning. I kove looking at different styles of homes and colors.

I enjoyed the 3rd Annual Columbus Day Parade. I hadn't been to one of these in probably a year or so! It was nice to see the marching bands from the area schools and social clubs. Also nice to see local politicians shaking hands with the spectators. Mount Clemens continues to provide great venues for family-friendly activities throughout the year. They always decorate for the season, placing overhead banners announcing the various activities throughout the year. I look forward to the day after Thanksgiving when Santa Claus arrives during the parade.

Friday night is special with a fish fry including chips (ya know, fries) and only an authentic British fish fry would include mushy peas. I like the malt liquor for my fries and sneak a little lemon and tartar sauce on my cod. Head up to the full bar for something cold and wet to wash it all down.

Parking and entrance door is in back. So, you order from the bar your food and drinks. They hand you a food ticket. Then, you walk over to the sweet older ladies (in aprons that are running the food from the kitchen window) and hand them your food ticket. They may or may not ask your name so they may call your name or what is in your order when it is ready to pick up. It took about 10 min for our orders to be called. They do not use cod (heaven forbid!), rather large pieces of hake and it is hand-battered. The fish was very tender, delicious, and flavorful. Batter was light and crisp. The dish comes with slaw and bread. We got the mushy peas for the whole cultural experience. We also got the steak pie. It was like a beef potpie without the veggies, packed with steak and gravy in a very tender crust. All were very filling and delish. Besides the fish and chips, a major highlight was how friendly the members were, welcoming us so warmly. The sweet older ladies that served us are the the cutest, charming ladies with their accents. Whenever I ESPECIALLY hear a British accent, I feel like I am in a movie or TV show. It is just slightly surreal. I want them to keep talking to hear how British they are. I am just having my own personal show. Anyway... We will definitely come back.

As a native Detroiter who loved Greenfield Village and Henry Ford Museum and enjoys automotive…read morehistory, a tour of the Ford Piquette Avenue plant was a joy. This museum has the largest collection of model Ts on display. Fun fact: there were actually two model As, and no model P for, well, I think obvious reasons. Not only is every model Ford built at the plant on display, but also competitor's vehicles of the time, including an electric car that Mrs. Ford is reported to have loved driving. There are many surprises I will not spoil. If you love cars, history, old architecture, and friendly knowledgeable tour guides, this is a must see place on a visit to Detroit.

The Model-T Automotive Heritage Complex, Inc., aka the Ford Piquette Avenue Plant, was organized in 2000 as a nonprofit to preserve the Plant & keep it from being demolished.

We spent about 2 hrs here & looked out the window at how part of this factory was converted to apartments. Over 1,600 men worked here over 100 years ago manufacturing Fords. There are over 65 rare automobiles including Henry Ford's "Letter Cars," unique Model T conversion vehicles, and other antique cars manufactured in Milwaukee Junction. We visited Henry Ford's office and Secret Experimental Room where the Model T was created in 1908. We experienced one of the world's oldest surviving automotive plants through a guided tour led by museum docents.
